Implied monogamy isn't stated monogamy.
However, I personally would not be interested in a man who is still willing to hook up with others during our dating phase. 4 months is a long enough time for him to commit or quit. Maybe the first month of dates (no sex, I don't do sex during the first 30 days) sex on the side with others while we try to figure out if we are compatible, 4 months - no. I don't do that.
You need to come up with three 'very important, deal breaker, rules' that you put out there on the first date.
In this case if monogamy is important to you you need to tell the person you are dating that monogamy is a must have in a relationship.
